Just to add to the debate.

While the message is inaccurate, I still give you props for proper use of the medium.

To paraphrase Stalin ... it doesn't matter who votes, it matters who doctors the media during the election ;-)

One can argue against Critical Theory ... it being a Continental philosophy, not an Anglo-American one (and hence not uber-mesnch).  But can one argue with criticism in general?  Pr126 seems too transparently tribal.  And typical of someone my age or older ... to drag out the Marxists boogieman.  Marxism is so strong in Cuba and Venezuela ... we better surrender!

If we did still have Stalin in power ... that would be serious.  Is Putin Stalin?  But is Trump Mussolini?  Hyperbole ... Putin at most is guilty of not doing what the CIA wants and maybe being as corrupt as most Western leaders.  Lately, the people most likely to kill 100 thousand or more, is NATO.  And NATO is following Third Reich foreign policy (given that Germany is a member, how can they not?) ... perpetual preventative war ... we don't want those awful Poles to invade Germany, now do we?  And NATO is ass deep into the police state now ... just like Germany/Soviet Union.  But, but we are the good totalitarians, are we not?

Well, this went downhill quickly. Enjoy your bickering. I'm out.

Atheism certainly fits in by opening up the field.  Much of religion is recognizing the importance of tradition, and all of these topics reject traditional norms.  I think the reason you don't hear them discussed much in real life is because they can easily become uncomfortable and unproductive arguments so people avoid them, much like you avoid them online.  Another reason is because many advocates of these issues actively attempt to prevent the expression of any opposing views, from blocking people on campus to legislation.
